I am here tonight to help this long neglected enterprise limp into another year. Our annual Hanukkah extravaganza died when the lights unexpectedly went out after the second night. It was not a miracle or a lack thereof - it just happened. Tonight, I'll attempt to resuscitate and breathe some life back into this dying corpse by offering seven nuggets of pure gold recorded by the King at Stax Studios in his hometown of Memphis. Hope you dig it.

This blog, when it makes it's all too rare (for those of us out here) appearances is the best thing on teh interwebz, hands down. Seriously. A lonely nation turns its eyes to you and all that...I check at least weekly, hoping against hope...

my father grew up with Elvis' Music. My dad really loves elvis, until now he's still playing elvis' music over and over again. Some of the music you shared are not on his playlist. May I download them for me to be able to add them on my dad's playlist? Thanks for sharing!

Just letting you know you're not forgotten, I continue to spread the gospel, and recently a former student asked whether I thought you'd ever return...in a few weeks we'll leave the Hanukkah candle's burnin' to light your way.

And so it ends? Such a sad, sad day for your faithful fans and followers. Well, thanks for what you did and how and an amazing--truly, seriously, honestly--site. And thanks for leaving it up--I continue to direct people here, a treasure not to be missed.
